OK.
The fierce attention
called forth by this challenge
has crested,
and I feel the bead-like pulse
in my armpits,
and the sensation that
my body lags a few steps
behind my mind
so I might stumble or fumble
or mumble

And yet the pure power surge
has forged such an incisive
trail through thought
that there is no question
how I must proceed
and there is no doubt
about the force
that sears through all obstacles
and wins its goal.
